In that special week of September people in US were listening to Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.
The Social Network, directed by David Fincher, was one of the most viewed movies released in 2010
while Dark Peril by Christine Feehan was one of the best selling books.
On TV people were watching Boardwalk Empire.
If you liked videogames you were probably playing ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead or Cow Clicker.
